    Mayweather body was breaking down since the Judah fight. Arum also thought so, he questioned Mayweather shoulder. Mayweather also had brittle hands compounded by his sore back. This was talked about before Hatton fight. I think a doctor once told Floyd to stop boxing for awhile ( can’t remember source) I think he needed the break from boxing, 2 years is good enough. Hopefully he is rejuvenated and fights Pacman or Mosley

      The thing that has stood out for me watching Floyd train, was how he doesn't let his body rest. Going non-stop like that causes aches. I wouldn't be surprised if his level of dedication to conditioning was producing some negative results here and there. This layoff has to be all about giving his body a break imo. I don't believe that he won't fight at least one more time.

        personally i think he hurt his hand.

        he wouldn't turn down 20 million or so to fight oscar.

        he might stay retired though if the risks outweigh the money.

        i think he really wants to keep his 0. he was willing to risk it before to make more money but now he's not especially against the bigger guys.

            he is declining as a fighter which was apparent in his recent fights, he even said it himself in the interview

            he knows that he couldn't handle the competion that was coming his way

                he knew he had to step it up. that body breaking down excuse aint valid. for example shane been fighting since 8 no excuses frm him. face it floyd aint got no heart. thats why he quit.
